| The inability of financially successful cooperatives to recognize appreciation of patron’s equity creates a dilemma for cooperative members. The value of an enterprise as an investor-oriented firm may exceed the value of patron’s participation in a limited patronage horizon. This difference has been a factor in the decision of several cooperatives to restructure wholly or partially as investor-oriented firms. Reasons for valuation differences are discussed and related to six cases of cooperative restructuring. |

| Two approaches have been taken to the modeling of poultry demand in U.S. meat demand studies. One has been to ignore turkey, and estimate demands for beef, pork, and chicken. The second has been to include turkey by combining it with chicken, and estimating demands for beef, pork, and poultry. The validity of these two approaches is examined using quarterly U.S. time-series data from 1980-96. The results indicate that either approach to the modeling of poultry demand is appropriate. |

| This contribution to a multi-country study of vertical coordination in the hog/pork sector provides a primarily descriptive analysis of coordination of the U.S. hog/pork industry. A common framework of review and analysis is used to facilitate comparison of the industries in Canada, Denmark, Netherlands, and the U.S. The concepts of chain management are used to reach some conclusions regarding the U.S. industry to compete in world markets. Parallel coordination systems are identified. Lack of trust is found to limit development of closer coordination and to limit communication of users' preferences upstream in the sector. |

| A 40-region nonlinear programming model of a cooperative livestock feed production and distribution system, including possibilities for on-farm processing, is used to compare system organization and performance given two pricing strategies. Use of one price regardless of location results I higher average costs to patrons than pricing products to reflect cost to each region. Transportation costs are increased using uniform pricing. Cost effects are small and may be offset by other benefits of uniform pricing. |
